The world of domains moves millions and millions of dollarsIt is very curious how the market for certain domains is, and much more when there are users who rush to some companies to buy domains that might be of interest to them so that the company has to go through them to get those domains.
And Apple has just made a movement related to this issue, and it is that if at the time the news about people who were dedicated to buying domains of English words that carried the letter i, like all devices or services of the boys of the block, today we bring you one of those gossip again. Apparently the Cupertino boys missed a domain: iCloud.net, something that in principle should not be important, but which is very relevant if we take into account that one of the "rules" of the Internet should be to have all the domains that bear the name of a service or product of yours. And yes, it they just bought and they just closed a social network that was under that domain...
For the domain iCloud.com they already paid 5.2 million dollars in 2011, it would be necessary to see what they have paid for this that becomes part of the more than 170 domains that the Cupertino guys have under the name iCloud. And the news was given by the creator of this social network on Twitter:
Hi all iCloud.net users,
You will find an advertisement on the main page of iCloud.net, yes, we have decided to close iCloud.net and stop all its services.
We have offered a social network since 2011, but now, iCloud.net has just finished its mission, it is time to retire.
A social network that in fact nobody knows very well what it consisted of, but that was something similar to what others like Facebook or Twitter offer, nothing relevant ... So now you know, in a few days you will be able to access iCloud through Apple's new domain iCloud.net
